Letitia James Faces Federal Bank Fraud Indictment
A federal grand jury brought charges against the New York attorney general over allegations of bank fraud on Thursday, according to an informed source.
The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia personally presented this case before the judicial panel this Thursday, the person said.
US attorneys do not typically appear before a grand jury.
Halligan was appointed as US attorney the previous month following Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction regarding the progress in ongoing probes targeting political opponents.
This action represents the newest attempt to utilize the Department of Justice to penalize adversaries.
This occurs 14 days following Halligan obtained indictments against James Comey.
Long-serving lawyers drafted a memorandum for that matter detailing the reasons charges were not warranted.
Comey denied the charges recently.
Additional information forthcoming
